General public is “everybody” and can also be summarized under the term “society”. The society has to communicate their claims and expectations towards the companies by entering into dialogue with them. A possible example is that a neighbors of a certain plant communicate towards the company’s managers high levels of emission/water pollution etc. they observe and that they would appreciate a reduction of emissions (etc.).
